PREPARE THE PARTS OF THE DC-6 KIT
A
Cut the fuselage halves as shown in Figure 1.
1
Tape the fuselage halved together, then cut the fuselage in
front of and behind the wing. The important things are that
these cuts are in the parallel section of the fuselage and that
the cuts in the two halves are aligned. Position the cuts to
suit the window pattern of the aircraft being modelled.
2
Cut off and discard the fin and rudder from each fuselage
half. Use the replacement fin and rudder as a guide for the
position of the cuts.
Figure 1
B
Modify the wings as shown in Figure 2.
1
To prepare each lower wing, remove the engine alignment
tabs from the front of each nacelle.
2
Remove the nacelles from each upper wing and put a plastic
card filler in the space left where the nacelles are removed.
When completed the upper wing surface should be a smooth
aerofoil surface.
3
Assemble the wing as detailed in the kit instructions, then
cut off the outer wings to suit the new centre section.
